Recognize curl as a downloading tool #335

Chances of having curl on a fresh Linux / macOS install are actually higher than having wget, but even if there is a tie, using available tool in PATH which does the job right is good. This is the only script related to runtime that force the user to install wget.

.. was about to run brew install wget then thought I should do this first. 😄

cc @BruceForstall, PTAL. dotnet-install.sh and other scripts in runtime and arcade provide curl or wget choice. This patch aligns bootstrap.sh with the similar fallback mechanism.

This LGTM. Can some @dotnet/jit-contrib Unix guru review?
